Shuffling and the people who build their lives around it have taken a fairly severe (and sometimes just a lil' bit racist?) ripping from a section of real house purists. They claim that shuffling – or "cutting shapes", as it's also known – is aggressive, ostentatious peacocking that just makes people look like pricks. They claim that the perpetrators wear terrible clothes (probably the weightiest part of their argument), and that those ruffnecks who come to clubs to move their feet in time with the music are promoting a "badman mentality". The fact that these people use the term "badman" as a negative tells you all you really need to know about them.

Disclosure, with their boyish looks and catchy choruses, might be the neo-house Nirvana, but the scene's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" moment has come courtesy of Julio Bashmore’s "Au Seve". It’s direct, you can dance to it, it's gonna sound great coming out of car windows this summer and getting rinsed at provincial nightclubs for years to come.It could be our generation's "Tiger Feet", a retro classic that we'll all be trying to get our gabber-loving kids to stomp along to. On the other hand, it's so infectious that it's probably more likely to replace "Chelsea Dagger" as the track that people "sing" at football matches and "Seven Nation Army" as the tune that Mediterranean teenagers chant when the Eurovision results are revealed (seriously, they do that). Neo-house: coming soon to a stag do near you.HOT NATURED
